Question

A baker is decorating cupcakes using 3 cherries for every 1 cupcake. If the baker has 12 cherries and 5 cupcakes, what is the theoretical yield?

Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The baker would only be able to make 4 cupcakes each having 3 cherries on it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the focus is on cherries you can ignore the cupcakes. So if you have 12 cherries and 3 PER cupcake you divide. 12 by 3 to get 4. Even though there will be one cupcake left, they could always give it to me! lol

Hope this helps and have a great day!
